Monochrome Pigeon 18. This was before his birthday
Columbia Records is seriously regretting some things right now-
The craziest part of this video isn't even the voice difference, because that's something you can hear in a lot of his older songs. It's the guitar playing! He was so reserved with his playing here, it's crazy to see how much better he's gotten. It's so much more effortless to him, even as he plays much more difficult chords now. Wild
I feel like he was trying as hard as possible to sound as masculine as possible since his singing voice can be so fairy-like. But if this is just the sound he felt like doing it's cool either way.
I like his masculine voice more
i wish this was known better, its a really good song
Oh hello! I hope you know that your special, it's a pandemic so I hope you keep your hopes up!!!
-random person
OH MY GOD WHERE WERE THESE GEMS HIDDEN????!!!!! been a huge fan and discovered them just now! He gotta put all his old songs on his channel fr!! This is GOLD
a long time ago his label dropped him and then he lost all of his music he made under that label, so it’s not “his” anymore :(
@@ezrimacdonald Yeah I know about that, it's really sad and infuriating but then recently he has been able to release some of the music. I hope he is able to release this one too
This is ridiculously unappreciated!!
10 dam years later and now look how far hes come i love him ❤❤❤❤
Verse 1: It took so long for him to find out
What she did was wrong, she took his heart and turned it inside out
And when the morning comes
You’ll have to face them all; I told you so,
I said you should have known
You know you should’ve known right from the start
Chorus: They try to make you walk away
But there’s no faith in what they say
Because they’re so far from 18, 18, 18
18, they think they know it all but then forgot it had a hurt, to hurt, to hurt
Verse 2: She’s nothing standing in the rain
She’s not waiting for another reason to keep waiting for the perfect storm
And now she’s laughing while she’s crying, ‘cause she’s trying not to show the smile she has learned to fake
Chorus: They try to make you walk away, but there’s no faith in what they say, because they’re so far from 18, 18, 18
18, they think they know it all but they forgot it had a hurt
Bridge: Knowing only, knowing, knowing only that there are 18 rules with 18 lies and 18 years of compromise
For every time I’ve heard you say you’re only 18, anyway
You’re only 18, anyway
Chorus: They try to make you walk away, but there’s no faith in what they say cause they’re so far from 18, 18
They think they know it all, but they forgot it had a hurt, to hurt, to hurt
I think it's to hurt, not to herd... ❤️
LOL yes its hurt but that was funny
@@sonja1355 omg tysm
Thank you for this!
correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure the last line of the chorus says they've forgotten how to hurt, not forgot it had a hurt
He sounds just as good live... 0-0
Hey...its been 6 years, alec now has his own studio album! hes pretty popular now if i could say anything to you from this video:
you made it :)
BABY ALEC HE HAS NO IDEA HE’D BE SELLING OUT LOCATIONS ON HIS WORLD TOURS 😭😭😭
another beautiful and moving song by alec benjamin! love how your songs have a spatial melody and toching words. i always relate to them. your litterly my favorite singe😍
*singer*
This song kinda sounds like a combination of his newer songs like; paper crown, wolf and the sheep, 1994, etc. it’s kinda cool when you think about it. :)
BRO, he has more songs?! Im def gonna listen to his older older ones.
I love this song! It's pity that it has only 19k views... ❤️❤️❤️
And I just realised that this video is from 2013 and there's no comment older than 3 years! 😂
I saw a 2 comments from 4 years ago- (not trying to hate)
why this songs are not in his channel?
Yeah I’ve seen a lot of songs that aren’t his channel and I don’t know why
Maybe because it’s his first few songs and he doesn’t feel like it’s good, but idk
I think bc they were made with the record label he was with in the beginning but when they dropped him I'm pretty sure he couldn't claim any of the songs, but people duplicated them so they're still saved
@@x9courtney9x But, why? These are still his songs :c
@Mei Mio he was at a different label when he wrote them but legally they don't belong to him they belong to the record label he was at, he's at a new one now, Atlantic or something like that
Wow this is actually getting more popular... Nice to see that!
Why doesn't this have 1000 likes yet? :/
Соња UwU cus its not Alec’s channel
Who's here from his newest mixtape?
good song but why isn't this released on his channel D:
so basicly. when he starterd he workd for a music label. When he droppet out he coudnt use the songs cuz the songs are from the music company
Aww he’s so little here 🤩
I wish I could find the lyrics to 18 by alec benjamin

Hey sorry this is late but I got this
It took so long for him to find out
What she did was wrong
She took his heart
And turned in inside out
When the morning comes
He’ll have to face them all I told you so’s
You should have known
You should have known right from the start
They try to make you walk away
But there’s no faith in what they say
Because they’re so far from 18
18
18
18
They think they know it all
But they forgot it had to hurt,
To hurt
To hurt.
She standing in the rain
She’s not waiting for
Another reason to keep waiting for
The perfect storm
And now she’s laughing
Whole she’s crying
Cause she’s trying not to show
The smile she has learned to fake
They try to make you walk away
But there’s no faith in what they say
Because they’re so far from 18
18
18
18
They think they know it all
But they forgot it had to hurt.
Knowing only
Knowing only
That there are 18 rules
And 18 lies
And 18 years of compromise
For every time I heard you say
You’re only 18 anyway
You’re only 18 anyway
They try to make you walk away
But there’s no faith in what they say
Because they’re so far from 18
18
18
18
They think they know it all
But they forgot it had to hurt,
To hurt
To hurt
@@sophieee2421 OH MY GOD!
Thank you so much, you're an angel
I am glad alec found his style this is good but I love his sound now.
September 2019 peeps!!
This is so old omg
lots of songs are not on his channel. Why? it's hard to hear all of his songs
It’s because most of his old songs were by a record company. They dropped him so he lost the rights to most of his songs
This was six years ago✌️👁️👄👁️✌️
Hey 19-year-old alec, I'm from the future. I just wanted to tell you that you made it and that your fans love you. Bye
He was so cute back then
100th like 👍👍
He was so young at that time. He changed
1ST COMMENT XD
16k views? no fake fans out here haha
Fake fans: I lIkE leT mE dOwN sLoWly AnD wAtEr fOuNtAin
So true 😂
Short name liking mainstream music doesn’t make them fake, knowing his older stuff doesn’t make you a “real fan.” If they like his music- ANY of his music- they are real fans. Thanks!
I wouldn't call people "fake fans" for not knowing his older fans. All they have to do to be a fan is enjoy his music
His voice is so Deep compared to now lol🤔😄
Wow 2013
2020
